Star Wars: A New Hope 'Style D' Original One-Sheet Movie Poster

This is an original 'Style D' circus-themed theatrical one-sheet poster for the 1977 film Star Wars: A New Hope, featuring artwork by Charles White III and Drew Struzan. The poster measures approximately 27 by 41 inches and is printed on standard paper stock. It features a collage of main characters including Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Darth Vader, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. This specific version is known for its 'unfinished' or 'torn' aesthetic, appearing as if taped onto a wooden wall. The bottom right corner displays a 1978 copyright for Twentieth Century-Fox and the GAU union bug. The lower right margin contains the NSS number 770021. The poster is in fair to good condition, showing significant horizontal and vertical fold lines consistent with theater distribution. There is visible paper rippling, edge wear, and some discoloration or staining near the central horizontal fold. The poster is currently housed in a simple light wood frame, though it appears to be mounted or taped, which may affect the underlying paper integrity.
